Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
use of the new "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!
i386:
Play with your BIOS options, and see if you can enable booting off a
CD; try using CD1. Not all BIOS/CDROM combinations work well. If
not, write CD1:2.3/i386/floppy23.fs to a floppy, then boot that. If
you are mixing OpenBSD with another operating system, you will surely
need to read the INSTALL.i386 document.
ARC:
Using CD1, tell the BOOT ROM to load the file CD1:\2.3\arc\bsd.rd. If
that does not work, create a MSDOS filesystem using your vendor's arc
setup program, copy CD1:2.3/arc/bsd.rd to there and attempt to boot
it.
SPARC:
To boot off CD1, type "boot cdrom 2.3/sparc/bsd.rd", or
"b sd(0,6,0)2.3/sparc/bsd.rd" depending on your ROM version.
Alternatively, write CD1:2.3/sparc/floppy23.fs to a floppy and boot it
using "boot fd()" or "boot floppy" depending on your ROM version.
Finally, a third alternative is to write CD1:2.3/sparc/kc.fs and
CD1:2.3/sparc/inst.fs to two seperate floppies. Then insert "kc.fs",
and boot as described above. As soon as the floppy drive ejects a
floppy, insert "inst.fs". Answer a bunch of questions. Reboot from
the "kc.fs" floppy. This time, when the floppy is ejected simply
re-insert "kc.fs" again and answer a different set of questions.
PMAX:
Write the simpleroot23.fs onto the start of the disk using dd on another
machine. After moving the disk drive, use "boot -f rz(0,0,0)/bsd"
(2100/3100) or "boot 5/rz0a/bsd" (5000). Alternatively, install via
network as described in detail in INSTALL.pmax.
AMIGA:
Create BSD partitions according to INSTALL.amiga's preparation section.
Mount the CD2 under AmigaOS as device CD0: Next, execute the following
CLI command: "CD0:2.3/amiga/utils/loadbsd CD0:2.3/amiga/bsd.rd".
HP300:
You can boot over the network by following the instructions in
INSTALL.hp300.
ALPHA:
Your alpha must use SRM firmware (not ARC). If you have a CDROM
drive, you can try to boot CD2 using "boot -fi 2.3/alpha/bsd.rd dkaX"
(use "show device" to find your CDROM drive identifier). Otherwise,
write CD2:2.3/alpha/floppy.fs to a floppy and boot that by typing
"boot dva0". If this fails, you can place bsd.rd on some other device
and boot it, or use the provided simpleroot.
MAC68K:
Boot MacOS as normal and partition your disk with the appropriate A/UX
configurations. Then, extract the Macside utilities from
CD1:2.3/mac68k/utils onto your hard disk. Run Mkfs to create your
filesystems on the A/UX partitions you just made. Then, use the
BSD/Mac68k Installer to copy all the sets in CD1:2.3/mac68k/ onto your
partitions. Finally, you will be ready to configure the BSD/Mac68k
Booter with the location of your kernel and boot the system.
MVME68K:
Theo has no real idea. In the rush to get everything else done, the
install stuff for the mvme68k was never completed. Enough pieces are
included so that a really skilled person could find a way to install
it; perhaps using netbooting. Good luck!
POWERPC:
Board must have OpenFirmware for booting. Boot from the CD with the
command (assuming the cdrom is SCSI id 4):
boot /pci/scsi@c/disk@4,0:\2.3\powerpc\ofwboot 2.3/powerpc/bsd.rd
then follow the instructions. Alternatively, attempt netbooting.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Further Notes:
To make a floppy under MS-DOS, use /2.3/tools/rawrite.exe. Under
Unix, use "dd if=&lt;file&gt; of=/dev/&lt;device&gt; bs=32k" (where device could
be "floppy" or "rfd0c" or "rfd0a").
Use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or you will
lose.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
CD#1 contains a regular CVS checkout starting in /. Using this tree
it is possible to get a head-start on using the anoncvs servers as
described at http://www.OpenBSD.org/anoncvs.html. Using these files
results in a much faster initial CVS update than you could expect from
a fresh checkout of the full OpenBSD source tree. There are two ways
of using the CD:
1) copy the tree off it, (assuming the CD is mounted on /mnt):
# mkdir /usr/src
# cd /mnt; cp -Rp CVS Makefile bin distrib etc games gnu \
include kerberosIV lib libexec lkm regress sbin share \
sys usr.bin usr.sbin /usr/src
2) Or, alternatively, use a union mount with the CD below a writable
directory.
# mkdir /usr/src
# mount -t union -o -b /mnt /usr/src
After this, /usr/src will be a nice checkout area where all cvs(1)
commands will work OK. Refer to http://www.OpenBSD.org/anoncvs.html
for more details.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
KERNEL SOURCE
If you want the kernel source copied off CD1, do the following:
# mkdir -p /usr/src/sys
# cd /mnt/sys
# tar cf - . | (cd /usr/src/sys; tar xvf - )
Important man pages to read are config(8) and options(4).
----------------------------------------------------------------------
To compile a kernel from the readonly CD mounted on /usr/src:
cd /somewhere
cp /usr/src/sys/arch/$ARCH/conf/SOMEFILE .
edit SOMEFILE (to make any changes you want)
config -s /usr/src/sys -b . SOMEFILE
make
$ARCH should be the architecture (e.g. i386). If you like, do a
"make depend" too so you'll have your dependencies there next time
you do a compile.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
CD#2 contains the following things:
www/ This is a CVS checkout of our web pages. This is basically
what the OpenBSD web pages used to look like. You can find
some of the OpenBSD graphics here as well...
Changelogs/ This is all of the CVS commit logs we have generated while
working on the project.
packages/ A number of pre-compiled binary packages for the system.
Refer to CD2:/README.packages
ports/ Our ports tree. Refer to CD2:/README.ports
distfiles/ Our ports tree distfiles. Refer to CD2:/README.ports
X11/ A CVS checkout of our version of the XFree86 source tree.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
After you have installed the system, root will have mail. Read that
mail. Alternatively, read the file "root.mail" in the pub/OpenBSD/2.3/
directory on the ftp mirrors.
